Michael Bay has already proven that he’s extremely good at translating beloved cartoons into virtually unrecognizable movies, and since he’s already worked his magic with Transformers and those Ninja Turtles films he produced, Bay has now set his sights on disappointing a slightly younger generation. According to The…

According to Variety, Larry Wilmore and Bassem Youssef are developing a sitcom for ABC about a Middle Eastern family living in America “at a time when it’s illegal to be a superhero.” In a tragic twist, though, the family happens to have superpowers, meaning they must work to save the world in secret. It also may or…

Thanksgiving aside, November is typically a month of transition. It’s too late for scary movies and too early for holiday movies, but also it’s kind of a perfect time for both scary movies and holiday movies. HBO is kind of embracing this for its HBO Go and HBO Now services in November, bringing subscribers one of the…

Amazon is doing what it can to revive the old “Florida” story tag, shipping 65 pounds of weed to an unsuspecting Orlando couple along with their empty plastic bins. According to WFTV-9, the couple, who asked not to be identified, lest they end up labeled bogarts (and probably some privacy concerns), ordered four…

Over the weekend, The New York Times published a piece saying that Bill O’Reilly had paid $32 million in a sexual harassment settlement with a Fox News legal analyst just before Fox News renewed his contract, indicating that the network was well aware of the many sexual harassment complaints that had been made against…

Last week, Nickelodeon fired Loud House creator Chris Savino over allegations of sexual harassment, with at least 12 accusers referencing “unwanted sexual advances as well as threats of retribution after the end of consensual relationships.” Nickelodeon also released a statement saying that it takes “allegations of…

One of the few, humorous bright spots in the last week was John McCain’s interview with C-SPAN3 on the Vietnam War, duringwhich he criticized affluent American citizens who got out of their tours of duty by handing in doctor’s notes. The Arizona senator didn’t word his comments in that exact manner, of course, but…

You can always count on Mike Mignola for horror stories with a spooky atmosphere and a sense of humor, and he consistently puts out new horror comics with artists that bring an unconventional visual sensibility to the genre. Mignola’s latest Dark Horse Comics graphic novel, Mr. Higgins Comes Home, partners him with…

There are many equalizers in this world: Desire, pain, fear. And then there’s hunger. All things, from humans to insects to mitochondria must consume. It makes sense, then, that the game show that transcended all borders and barriers was one where people raced around a supermarket lobbing Christmas hams into a…

Judy Garland is rightfully a show-business legend, a tremendous vocal talent whose life ended in tragedy after years of getting knocked around by the studio system. She died at age 47 of a barbiturate overdose in London in 1969.

As revelations of the culture that’s allowed sexual harassment to thrive in Hollywood continue to fill the news cycle, there’s undoubtedly some studio exec or screenwriter who’s framing a pitch for the inevitable film about the allegations that have been brought against Harvey Weinstein and more. That’s actually fine…

Scott Putesky, the former guitarist of Marilyn Manson better known as Daisy Berkowitz, has died after a battle with colon cancer. He was 49.

Eight films in (11 if you count cameos and an animated movie from a couple years ago), the Madea series is still slapping the competition upside its foolish, back-talking head. Tyler Perry’sBoo 2! A Madea Halloween, a hastily conceived sequel to last year’s seasonally (un)scary variation, topped the box office with a…

We wrote just last week about the recent Common Sense Media report on the significant increase in device usage for children, primarily on tablets and phones. And it seems reasonable to suspect that these kids are absorbing a lot of that behavior from their own screen-addicted parents.

In a recent episode of Anthony Bourdain: Parts Unknown, writer/director/actress Asia Argento spoke of her love of her hometown of Rome, its back alleys and bawdy songs and the simple pleasure of a plate of pasta. But ever since Argento spoke out about being sexually assaulted by Harvey Weinstein in the New Yorker’s exposé

Because apparently today’s version of our post-apocalyptic present is the one in which the aging populace is terrorized by roaming bands of lawless youths, here is some footage of a bunch of scooter-riding tweens clashing with police in downtown Brisbane, Australia over the weekend.

With the release of It and The Dark Tower (and, hell, even Gerald’s Game), more and more casual Stephen King fans are hearing tell of the “dark universe” that connects so many of his books. Pennywise and the Losers’ Club, for example, not only appear in It, but are also either referenced or seen in King books like The…
